Next year I would like to extend my strawberry harvest, can anyone recommend good, reliable, and fairly disease resistant early, mid, and late varieties please?

I’ll be watching this thread with interest. I’d like a couple more varieties. I have a pink flowering one that is starting to fruit now ( apparently a very nice flavour, I don’t eat them, horrible things). Unfortunately I can’t tell you variety. The lady I got it off seems to have a pathological hatred of plant labels . Throws them out as soon as the plant gets home.
Last year I bought a mix of early,mid season and late bare rooted plants. This year they are starting to fruit well. The only one I can remember was Elsanta.(embarrassed icon)

Christine, Alice, Florence seems a good mix. Florence is a trooper, did really well in troughs last year compared to Elsanta. Malwina is a very nice late strawberry, they go a really dark red and have an almost fizzy taste. Never grown a perpetual/everbearing variety, but maybe one like Finesse to extend the season?
